I have a standard keyboard that I tried unplugging just before starting up the game but it still wouldn't detect the controller. Even when manually changing the input value to 1 the game then just displayed that it couldn't detect a gamepad and would switch to keyboard and mouse. I'm at a loss as to what else I can do to try to get this controller detected.
I have had this same problem trying to go wireless. Grab your recharge cord and plug your controller in to your computer using a usb slot. I usually start up the program and plug it in AFTER I have the game loaded up to the log in/ start up screen and it seems to work like a charm.
Hope this helps
